Sauteed Cod Provencale
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- two 1/2-inch-thick pieces of cod fillet (about 6 ounces each)
- 2 plum tomatoes, peeled, and seeded, and diced
- 2 Kalamata or other brine-cured blacked olives, pitted and sliced thin
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or a pinch of crumbled dried
- 2 fresh large basil leaves, sliced thin
- In a non-skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it saute the cod, seasoned with salt and pepper, for 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle the cod with the tomatoes, the olives, and the thyme, reduce the heat to moderately low, and cook the mixture, covered for 2 minutes.
- Scatter the basil over the fish, drizzle it with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil, and cook it, covered, for 1 minute, or until it just flakes.
